Kristen Wiig and Fabrizio Moretti Kiss at Star-Studded Lexus Party

Lexus hosted their Laws of Attraction bash in San Francisco last night for plenty of loved-up celebrity couples.

Lexus hosted their Laws of Attraction bash in San Francisco last night for plenty of loved-up celebrity couples. The event's DJ, Fabrizio Moretti, brought along his girlfriend, Kristen Wiig. The couple, who usually are shy about press attention, didn't seem to mind kissing for the cameras. Jason Schwartzman also partied with his wife, Brady Cunningham. Brady and Jason enjoyed an adults-only night, leaving their 18-month-old daughter Marlowe at home. Jaime King, meanwhile, made the rounds with husband Kyle Newman. Model Devon Aoki also showed PDA with her partner, James Bailey.

Simon Doonan and his husband, Jonathan Adler, were the brains behind Lexus's new campaign, which was unveiled last night. Photographer Ellen von Unwerth snapped photos of the famous pairs — kissing in front of Lexus cars — for a new range of advertisements. Simon and Jonathan, Kyle and Jaime, James and Devon, and Jason and Brady are all in the snaps — Kristen and Fabrizio are not.

>> The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles hosted its annual gala on Saturday night, drawing Laura and Kate Mulleavy, Tilda Swinton, Rachel Zoe, Shala Monroque, and event chair Dasha Zhukova.

The evening, curated by the performance artist Marina Abramovic, started with guests being asked to put on a white lab coat before sitting down to dinner; each table, meanwhile, had a live, rotating human head for a centerpiece, with the attached performance artists sitting beneath. Diners were given a list of rules about interacting with the centerpiece, such as, "The centerpiece will observe you. You may observe the centerpiece." and "No touching, feeding, offering drink, or disrespecting the centerpiece."

Debbie Harry was shortly thereafter carried onstage to serenade the crowd with “One Way or Another” and “Heart of Glass.” Postperformance, two life-size nude cakes of Harry and Abramovic were brought out. With a machete, Harry removed her cake's red velvet heart, and then teams of shirtless men descended on the two cakes with meat cleavers, sending toes, breasts, and other various anatomical parts to the different tables on dessert plates.
